Audioboom allows smartphone and website users to record, upload and playback digital audio recordings, which can then be listened to on the Audioboom website, listened to through the apps, posted to a user’s own website, posted to a user’s Twitter, Facebook or Tumblr, or submitted to iTunes as a podcast feed.
​
Podcasts can also be embedded onto wikis and blogs. A picture, location, title, description, category and tags can be added to any clips uploaded.
Registration is optional, but registered users have their own pages and feeds/channels akin to Twitter or YouTube.

Registered users can also send audio direct messages to each other, and collect playlists. Newly registered and anonymous users are given 3 minutes per clip to upload, though users can upgrade for longer record times. There is currently no upper limit to how many clips a user can upload, making the site popular with audio bloggers, teachers, and podcasters.
